TennesSea Shine. Perfect View for Two. Cozy cottage with amazing views.

There is nothing more relaxing or beautiful than the view from the front porch of our cottage. The colors of the ocean change throughout the day, so you never tire of just sitting and looking at the panoramic view in front of you. If you are wanting a relaxing, quiet, and beautiful place to vacation, this is it.

The 400 sq. ft. cottage is simply and comfortably designed. One main room includes kitchen, sitting, and queen bed. There is a separate bath with tiled shower, toilet, and vanity. Because the cottage is built on 12' pilings, there is also plenty of room underneath for outdoor enjoyment.

I first visited Spanish Wells and Russell Island in 2012 and have made many pilgrimages to the Islands since the first visit. Every time I vacation here I find it is one of the few places where I can truly relax and unwind. The people are genuine and welcoming to their part of paradise. If you are wanting a bustling nightlife, scores of bars and restaurants as well as fancy hotels and shopping you’re looking in the wrong place. But if you want a tranquil and peaceful slice of heaven with uncrowded beaches and beautiful views, keep reading.

The previous stewards of the cottage found a beautiful property overlooking the ocean, and worked with a local draftsman to create the perfect tiny home. They moved into the new little island cottage in July 2020 and had lifelong roots in the music of middle Tennessee, and wanted to incorporate that into the name of the cottage. TennesSea Shine was named as a tribute to their home state, its music and moonshine, and to the sunshine and sea of The Bahamas. It suits me well as I grew up in Kentucky, live in Alabama and spend lots of time between both, in Tennessee.

My kitchen is nicely equipped with most anything you need to prepare a meal. So, take that fishing charter early in the week and cook your fresh catch while you are here! You can choose to dine inside at my little dining table and still enjoy the view of the water. Or, you can choose to dine at the table on the porch and enjoy the ocean breeze while you eat.

The sitting area includes a loveseat recliner for relaxing after a day at the beach. (I just ask that you keep the coverlet on so as to insure the fabric stays clean and stain free for everyone who stays.) And, there are two other chairs in case you meet friends on the island who would like to join you for coffee or a glass of wine. The smart TV package includes cable TV (use the large remote for channel selection), as well as Roku for watching Netflix or Amazon Prime. Just be sure and bring your account sign in information to use while you are here (and, don't forget to sign out of your accounts when you leave.) And, there is complimentary wifi throughout the cottage. Password information is included in the guest book.

The bedroom area is a built in queen sized bed with a comfortable mattress and hotel bedding. There is a nice sized closet where we provide hangers, shelving, and baskets for your use. I've made sure to include plenty of outlet spaces on the bottom shelves on both sides of the bed for any electronic devices you choose to bring.

My bathroom is actually quite roomy for a tiny cottage. The tile shower, vanity, and storage shelves allow space for any items you'd like to store/place there.

To get to the island, you will fly to North Eleuthera Airport (ELH). We have flown Delta, American, and Silver from the United States. There are other airlines that fly in from Nassau. We are happy to arrange taxi service to Spanish Wells from the airport, if requested. A representative from Pinder's Taxi will be at the airport to meet you. You will ride in a 15 passenger van to Gene's Bay Dock (about a 10-15 minute ride), where you will board a ferry with the same driver as the van. The ferry ride over to Spanish Wells is about 5-10 minutes. And, just the ride into the lovely harbor will make you feel like your vacation has begun. My care taker, Donna Pinder, will be at the dock in Spanish Wells to meet you and escort you to our cottage. You'll need to rent a buggy (aka golf cart) for your stay. If you'd like more information regarding a rental, just let us know.

We are also happy to share that our friends, who built the cottage beside ours (see photos of both cottages), now have their cottage on the rental market. If you are considering a couples trip, these two tiny cottages would be perfect! Each couple would have their own private space, but it's just a quick walk over to either place for brunch, dinners, or a glass of wine together. You can find information about our friends' place at www.vrbo.com/2633474.

Spanish Wells is a charming and beautiful island. If you are looking for a place to relax, to enjoy beautiful ocean views, and sit on a quiet, uncrowded beach, this is the place! While the cottage has beautiful views, it will take a short buggy ride to access the beach. The cottage has coolers and beach chairs available for your convenience. Once there you will find there are many places to visit the beach and explore the islands. Each location has its advantages and you aren’t limited to just one view during your stay.

2nd time around didn't disappoint

The communication with Mr.White and Donna was perfect. This was our second stay and it didn't disappoint again; despite having 3 days of rain. The property is beautiful, clean and peaceful. It's nice because Donna is always willing to answer questions no matter what time of day and the level of customer service is special. Wonderful stay and thank you AGAIN

Fantastic Getaway

Fantastic! A great location and a perfect place to unwind and relax. The wonderful view was enjoyable from both inside and out on the deck. Our host was super helpful and responsive. The kitchen and cottage in general were very well equipped, well maintained and, up to date. We walked to the Sand Bar for delicious food and cocktails, everything else was a short golf cart ride away. Highly recommended.

Great Stay!

We have been to Spanish Wells three times, and this was the best cozy cottage we have stayed in, yet! Its fresh, clean, and well-appointed with all the kitchen items and beach supplies you need. The porch view is wonderful and it's a quick cart ride into town and nearby beaches. We look forward to staying at Tennessee Sunshine, again!

Beautiful, majestic skies, and lovely host!

I loved my stay at TennesSea Shine. Tavis, the host, was so kind and attentive, guiding me to the best spots for lunch, beaching, and kayaking. The bed had the perfect linens for a restful sleep, and the mattress was awesome. I really appreciated Tavis' attention to detail, and I would definitely stay here again. The view is beautiful! You cannot access the beach from the house, but it's only a short drive to the most beautiful beach in the world! The house itself has everything you could need. It's private, comfortable for a couple or solo traveler. Sometimes, little sheep would be in the yard, which I loved! The fruit on the property is plentiful and beautiful foliage, amidst the gorgeous backdrop. Enjoyed!

Tough Circumstances But A Very Positive Experience!

Unfortunately due to airline internet issues we were delayed for 4 days and never made it to Russell Island. Tavis, however, was responsive and understanding. He made a disappointing experience better … he totally understood that circumstances were completely beyond our control. We so appreciated his kindness and will definitely hope to try again next year!

Perfect cottage for two

The stay at this cottage filled up our Island Souls. Watching the sunrise with a salty breeze over the garden of mangoes, papayas and banana trees is truly uplifting. We never turned on the TV or our phones for the entire week. It was a perfect place to reconnect with my wife and nature. If you’re looking for an authentic Island location look no look no further than Tennessee shine. Thank you Travis from the bottom of our hearts….we will see you again! BRAVO

Beautiful View

We had the pleasure of spending 11 days in this beautiful cottage. The view from the house is stunning and you will find yourself relaxing and gazing out at the water from the deck for hours. The cottage is extremely well cared for and has everything we could have needed for our trip. The owner ( Tavis ) was the absolute best to work with. Communication was outstanding and any questions we had were quickly answered. Spanish Wells is our favorite vacation destination and finding this cottage made it more enjoyable. Already planning our next stay.

The Perfect Getaway

We just got home from our stay at Tennessea Shine and we were so sad to leave. This cottage is perfect for a couple or a small group looking to enjoy paradise. It is adorably decorated and has everything you will need. The porch is where we spent most of our time enjoying meals and playing games, not to mention the breathtaking view! The neighbors are friendly and we got a kick out of the goats and sheep next door, too cute. The cottage comes equipped with all of the beach necessities - chairs, coolers, even a kayak which we loved. Perhaps the highlight of our stay was the friendliness and flexibility of both the homeowner Tavis and the property manager Donna. We were so grateful for their hospitality and being so quick to answer any questions we had. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to staying again!!

Amazing vacation

We had a wonderful stay at TennesSea Shine. It was everything that I imagined and more. We had fresh mangos several times a day from their trees on property. There were sugar apples however they were not ripe yet, so we purchased some at the local Farmer's Market - delicious! I was a little reserved about initially not having direct beach access until I got there and realized how lucky we were to get the views from TennesSea Shine. ALL beaches are just minutes away with the golf cart. We went to several beaches throughout our 8 day stay and could not pick a favorite - maybe ALL of them! We had everything we needed to cook our meals (seafood from Ron's recommended), relax and enjoy paradise. I had injured my ankle the day before my trip and couldn't think of a better place to recuperate - "Injured in Paradise" was what I shared with all my friends who were extremely jealous of all the incredible pictures. Can't wait to plan the next trip to Spanish Wells!

That view!

The cottage is beautiful, clean and has an amazing view! Pretty quiet too! The deck was one of my favorite places to go sit and have dinner after beaching all day! The kitchen was well equipped and had drinking water, the bathroom was very spacious and the bed is absolutely so comfortable even more comfortable than my bed at home! Communication with the owner was flawless and she even arranged the transfers! She answered all my questions quickly as well. I’ve been to Spanish Wells this made the fifth time and by far the nicest place I’ve stayed at! The cottage is on Russell but it’s only a 7 minute drive in a golf cart to the beach so not a big deal at all and for me I’d rather have the peace and quiet so I don’t mind a little drive. The sandbar is a must! Fun atmosphere and good company, not to mention it has a little beach so you can swim in the ocean and get food and cocktails! Did I mention it’s like 5 minutes from the cottage too! And Buddha’s is a favorite of mine. Service is great there and he gives ya a lot of food for your money and ya get full! His burgers are fabulous with homemade buns too! Wonderful stay and I will return to to stay here again! I only have a few small suggestions and they are: at some point maybe get a grill and maybe a medium sized cooler. Idk if there was a cooler anywhere but I didn’t find one (I did have a small cooler I brought with frozen meat in it to help with food costs) and maybe some larger beach chairs.

Sweet TennesSea Shine

I am truly all about COMFORT, and TennesSea Shine stilt cottage exceeded my expectations. I felt like I’d “gotten away” with something (more than a just a lovely retreat), yet from I walked in the door, somehow, it felt like Home...or like how Home should feel. Donna and the Newbolds were AWESOME! Their friendliness and kind support took me by surprise. I got lost returning home :) one evening, called them really nervous, and in 3 minutes the Newbolds were to my rescue! The only “noise” I noticed during my stay was the song of a few goats that held a pre-run meeting :) one morning. I managed to record the dash as one of numerous beautiful moments had while there. Would I return to this lovely place and people? I’d absolutely love to. Thank you, Bonnie & Crew!

What a beautiful little stilt home! Has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing time on a peaceful little island. Surrounded by the most beautiful and ever changing sea and sky. Nice little kitchen and several restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking. Spacious bath and lovely porch. Best part is waking up to that view right from the very comfortable bed! Recommended for a peaceful downtime and recharge. Definitely would visit again, Caretaker and his wife were awesome.
